Re: How Measure Reed and MP

Sounds like you've got it right, Karl. Like I might have said, I have lots of good reed and except for 3 or 4 originals, they all play well enough to suit me. They go back about 2 years and I rotate them so only play one a day and I may not play every single day. But it is not about having or affording reeds. It is mor about the challenge and interest in learning about something for its own sake. I personally think what I am trying to do is impossible but since I have no real experience or instruction I cannot really say that for sure. I probably will never throw them away but if need some more good ones I will certainly buy some rather than try to re-manufacture them. I have all I started with except one which was lost and another which the tip part was so split and damaged I threw it away. Right now I am thinking about how to move the bark junction back a bit until I can get a note to sound. Maybe over the winter i will have more time to work on it. Usually I never clip them but as I might have said I ruined these and had to clip them even if it did ruin them more. Didnt know at the time they likely would not be reparable. If nothing else I will have learned what cannot be done or at least by me. I enjopy trying but have to take more time for playing.
